He may have been inspired to pen those words as he looked around his native city, which sits in a valley surrounded by forests. Amid this natural beauty is a city where various businesses contribute to the region’s economy. Traditionally a farming town, it’s now developed as a centre for science, art and, media. Its history also makes it a popular spot for visitors, who enjoy the many fine hotels in Weimar.
In the centre of Weimar is the Market Square, where the region's important commercial buildings are found. Walking up Marktstrasse, you’ll reach Schlossgasse, where the castle sits on the banks of the River Ilm. Located in a valley and surrounded by miles of verdant forestland, Weimar sits close to the city of Leipzig. The city’s political and artistic history is particularly rich – it’s the birthplace of the Bauhaus design movement and poets Schiller and Goethe. Make sure to visit the memorial to the poets in Theaterplatz, where you’ll also find the National Theatre.
Agriculture has long been a mainstay of the regional economy, and this contributes significantly to the city’s wealth. Modern business activities are varied and include companies such as Bayer and IBU-tec Advanced Materials. Bauhaus University is a world-famous art institution and also a major employer in the city. Due to the city’s significance as the birthplace of a diverse range of artistic movements, tourism is a major industry in Weimar.
While staying at a hotel in Weimar, you'll find an area rich in history, having been the founding place of Germany's first national democracy. The Goethe National Museum is a complex made up of several buildings, including Goethe House, where the poet Johann Wolfgang Goethe once resided. The city is home to no less than 14 UNESCO sites, including the university. The castle, known locally as the Stadtschloss, is today a public art gallery. You’ll also enjoy exploring its attractive surroundings by the River Ilm. One of the region’s speciality dishes is the Thüringer Bratwurst, which you can buy at the Market Square.
